I reckon that your eyes and lips have long been known to me. <br />I would know you by your eyes alone. <br />Your lips, when parting by degrees, unleash your voice to me <br />In harmonies like angel's songs. <br /> <br />In glints, you are no better than other sisters of this world; <br />Like those who've suffered, lived and died before. <br />You are rarest when you lie unveiled with fragile heart unfurled, <br />I lie in thrall to whims, your spell implores. <br /> <br />The feeling of your hands and feet have long been known to me <br />I would find you by your faint footprints alone. <br />Your fingers weave a feel that moves the urge in me to seethe; <br />Then guides me to your love's once guarded cove. <br /> <br />I am no better than the other brethren of this world; <br />Like those who've suffered, lived and died before. <br />I lie emboldened by emotion's winds that run awhirl <br />From the depths of love to stroke your soul's far shore. <br /> <br />The script foretold your heart and soul have long been known to me. <br />I could find you by your heartbeat alone. <br />Our souls entwined and now align the vision we both seek <br />My humbled heart, at last, has found its home.<br /><br />Alto Lee Thomas, Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-have-long-been-known-to-me/
